Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which macromolecule and function are matched correctly?
A
lipids:long term energy
B
carbohydrates:used for transport in the cell membrane
C
nucleic acids:quick energy
D
proteins:genetic information
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats (lipids) Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are surrounded by water, which sets a lower limit to the amount of space required to store them and the weight they add. Because of these differences, lipids are used in long-term energy storage (adipose, or fat, tissue), and carbohydrates are used in short-term energy storage (glycogen).

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Both lipids (fat) and glycogen (made up of glucose molecules) store energy in animals. Lipids are used for long-term energy storage while glycogen, found in the liver and muscles, is used for short-term energy storage.
